Last year’s Olympic gold medalists Elaine Thompson and Omar McLeod will be the lead representatives from the central region on the Jamaica team at the IAAF World Championships in London which will run from August 4 to 13.
Thompson, a native of Banana Ground in Manchester, won gold medals in the women’s 100m and 200m at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro last year while McLeod, from Sanguinetti in northern Clarendon, conquered the field in the men’s 110- metre hurdles.
